Artists Inspiration:

Luis Fernando Quintero has worked in the jewelry industry for over 30 years. He is a native of Medellín, Colombia with talent and expertise in nearly all facets of jewelry making: designing, casting, repurposing, repairing, welding, filigree, gem restoration and appraisal and as a metalsmith. Luis Fernando creates jewelry that melds traditional elegance with the eclectic future. He typically works with precious and semi-precious metals and gemstones, but didn’t encounter a material he couldn’t weld, meld or twist into a fabulous accessory. Fernando jewelry pieces are distinguished by their painstakingly intricate wire-patterns, crafted using a technique known in jewelry-making as filigree. Fernando designs feature unique gemstone combinations and bring together old-world, high-quality craftsmanship, with modern colors, angles and shapes. All of Luis Fernando’s designs are original and handcrafted and made using recycled metals and conflict-free gemstones.
